Brown sets up tax speech, responds to Ryan pick – Dems hope to link Romney/Ryan/Brown – Nuciforo removes controversial op positions from site – Binienda back on his feet – OMG Taylor Swift, you guys

GOT A LICENSE FOR THOSE?: Sun’s out, guns out for Sen. Scott Brown, even while playing basketball indoors and talking to reporters about new VP hopeful Paul Ryan (who has been known to flash some Wisconsin steel himself.) The Democrats are certainly making an effort to make the two seem similar, but Brown himself is set to deliver a new tax policy address about his own views of the importance of low taxes. DISCHARGED: Rep. John Binienda is out of the hospital after collapsing in the State House during the hectic final day of sessions. AN EVOLUTION: In a tiff about misstated positions on his website, what congressional candidate Andrea Nuciforo called his opponents’ “desperate politics” just last week has quickly turned into Nuciforo taking "full responsibility for the oversight." KENNEDY CANOODLING: Taylor Swift isn’t afraid of sharks or Kennedys and might be buying a house across the street from Ethel in Hyannisport. #TaylorSwiftKennedyIII-2068
